LOOKING OVER A SCHOOL.
The Oglethorpe Seminary Inspected
By Members of Its Advisory Board.

The Oglethorpe Seminary Inspected
By Members of Its Advisory Board.
At the invitation of the Principal, Mrs.
Louis G. Young, the Oglethorpe Seminary
for girls was inspected yesterday by the
Advisory Board of the institution, Revs.
Boone, Bacon and Strong, and Messrs.
Myers and West which met for that pur-
pose, and went through all the details of the
school arrangements The institution is To-
Gated in the southern of two large houses
built by Mr.. S. Krouskoff on the extension
park, and it seems difficult to fancy more
eligible site for girls school The rooms
are large and well ventilated and bordering
uion The park, no other or finer play ground
IS needed or could be desired. Mrs. Young
herself Supervises the school room of the
academic and preparatory classes, which is
capable of seating seventy scholars Next
to that room is the class room of Miss Ban
croft for mathematics and Latin. On the
same floor is the class room for pupils in
drawing and painting under Miss Wey
mouth. On the first floor is the primary
room, with Miss 1laccaw in charge Next
to that is the class room for foreign Ian
guages under Mile. Engelhard, and on the
third floor the music room of Prof.
LeSsing and Miss Coburn. Prof.
Stewards lessons in vocal music
are to be given also III class winch Is now
being made'up for that purpose. The only
wants seem to be large hall or room for
calisthenic or other general school exercises,
and IA school library.
The visitors found thirty-nine pupils at
work. This number is considered remark
ably good for this season of the year, many
pupils being still out of the city. There is
no doubt now of the success of the enter
prise, and the city may congratulate itself
in the acquisition of such an institution.
The gentlemen expressed great satisfaction
with what had been accomplished in such a
short time

have been at home, according to promise
made his wife, before dark The old, old
story. Just as he had made up his mind tc

him to attend her up the street to get nice
pair of shoes Nice man. you know, could
not refuse ladys polite request, and had

KICKING AT QUARANTINE.
The Captain of the Bark Melchiorre
Ordered to Return to His Vessel.

The Captain of the Bark Melchiorre
Ordered to Return to His Vessel.
The Italian bark Melchiorre, from Buenos
Ayres Aug. s, arrived atquarantine Oct 80.
The master of the vessel, Capt. Izzo, came
up to the city ON Tuesday and reported to
Salss & Co, the vessels agents. The cap
tain said that the quarantine officer was not
at the station and he wrote to the Health
Officer in reference to placing his vessel at
the wharves and unballasting. The Health
Officer replied that no permit is necessary
to go TO the quarantine wharf,
that the captain could go in
whenever he pleased, and he directed
the captain to return to his vessel and re-
main there until he was permitted to come
to- the city. The object of this order the
Health Officer explained, is to hurry up the
unballasting.
The captain left mis- vessel in charge of the
mate, who was then in command, and he
did not see the necessity of returning at
once. Yesterday he received peremptory
order to return to quarantine Immediately,
under penalty of having his vessel removed
from the ballast wharf. Capt. Izzo and
the vessels agents are indignant over the
order the Health Officer, in his letter to the
captain, after referring to his order of Thurs
day, said: II am informed by MIR. r. NJ.
ooldS U ~ you nave OlSTtSdEueu UfllS OTueI
and that you are still in the city
| have reported the facts to His
Honor, Rufus E. Lester, Mayor, and am
directed in his name and official capacity to
say that he orders your compliance with
my order Of yesterday at the very earliest
possible moment One or more tug boats,
from Office managed by Capt. II. NJ. c.
Smith, will go past the station on to-mor-
row. desire that you take advantage of
this transportation, the first which offers,
and report at your vessel / am also ordered
in the name of the Mayor, to instruct the
quarantine officer that in case you do not
go to the station on tomorrow, that your
vessel win be removed from the ballast
wharf
Mr.. Salas said last night that rather than
contest the matter the Captain will comply
with the Health Officers instructions, and
viii return TO his vessel to-day. Capt Izzo
does not recognize the order as imperative
however. His vessel is in command of his
first officer who is acting in his stead, and
both the vessels agent and himself look
upon he order as purely arbitrary.

The Memphis and Charleston Stock.

With reference to the injunction recently
granted by the Chancellor of Alabama re-
straining the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad from voting the ma iority
of the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
which it owns. at the November election
of the Memphis and Charleston, gentle
man prominently identified with the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia manage
ment says this: ''There is no more equity
in the position taken by the minority
Memphis and Charleston stockholders
than if the minority interest of any other
corporation should protest against
the majority shareholders electing mana
gers and debating the policy of the com
pany. That is precisely what the minority
party of the Memphis and Charleston road
are doing by their proceedings in the Ala
banla court" So far as goes their COM
plant about the East Tennessee Virginia
and Georgia Company not having given
public notice of its intention to buy the
majority of the Memphis and Charleston
stock, as required by the laws of Alabama
and Tennessee, this is the complete answer,
according to the same gentleman:
THE present owners of the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia did not buy con-
troll OF the Memphis and Charleston
except as part and parcel of the East
tennessee, NUBlna anu georgia II
self. That is to say, about Two years
ago the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia was in the hanis of a receiver, and
while under his management and control he
went before Judge Baxter of the United
States Circuit Court in Tennessee, and rep
resented that he believed that the interest of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
bondholders would be best served by using
the funds hich he had in hand as receiver
to buy a majority of TIE Memphis and
Charleston railroad stock in order that the
two properties might be operated together.
The court was satisfied that the receivers
suggestion was wise, and authorized him
to act accordingly. The purchase of the
Memphis and Charleston ock was made
under that decree of the court, and the
transaction subsequently confirmed by
Judge jackson, another United States Cir
cult Court Judge, of Tennessee. Later on
the entire East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia property, with all its rights, fran
chises, effects and belongings, was sold pub
licly under foreclosure OF the mortgage, Sc
curing the bondholders who had put the
road in the hands of a receiver, and the
present owners bought ii. Under this pur-
chase they claim TO have acquired title to
the majority OF the Memphis and Charles
ton, which, under the administration of the
receiver, had become an asset of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and as
such was conveyed by him in the foreclosure
sale.n

CONSOLIDATION" CONFERENCE.
The Birmingham and Atlantic Airline
People Not Prepared to Talk.

The Birmingham and A tlantic Airline
People Not Prepared to Talk.
The consolidation conference has been sit
ting for two days trying to unite the inter
ests of the Birmingham and Atlantic Ain
Line, the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida
and the Macon, Lagrange and Birmingham,
but so far as is known they have accom-
plished nothing, and in all probability they
have become seriously entangled.
1t is known that the committee that ex
amined the line OF the Savannah, Dublin
and Western expressed dissatisfaction with
the Dublin-Macon end of it, and 1t was lu-
mored first that they would make an unfa-
vorable report upon the consolidation
scheme, then that they would demand
modification of the agreement.
Which of these courses has been adopted Is
a matter for speculation, for the members
of the conference have used every precau-
ton to prevent any of their proceedings
leaking out, and those here who are inter
ested positively refuse to give any informa-
ton concerning what they have heard from
Griffin.
IL is not at all improbable that the New
York directors of the Birmingham and At
lantic are insisting upon the primary agree
ment, while the other roads are attempting
TO make terms more favorable to them
selves, using the bad condition of the Ma
con end of the Savannah, Dublin and West
ern as their argument. Another proba-
bility is that the well timed announcement
of the Central that an airline to Fort Val
ley will be built has bred some discord in
the former friendly camp. But whatever
the cause the whole matter is in something
of a tangle, because it was firmly
believed that the conference would
not last longer than was necessary to re-
ceive the report of the committee and sign
the agreement already drawn up, whereas
it has lasted two days and has not yet adj
iourned, and the strict secrecy which is
maintained gives rise to the belief that the
disagreement is of such a serious nature,
that to make it public would be to injure
the chances of an amicable settlement

Messrs. j. Mclaughlin &, Son sold yester-
day at Kelly's wharf, 1900 bales of wet
cotton from the British steamship Sylvia,
at prices ranging from $3l to S35 per bale,
the highest price reached for years. With
such prices before owners and underwriters,
it is difficult to understand
why damaged cotton should be permitted to
remain for months unsold, as it is only q
question of a few months to render it utter.
